Supply and Distribution

The SCRD water systems supply potable water to approximately 23,000 residents between Langdale and Secret Cove from three different water systems that include surface water and groundwater sources. Bulk water supply is provided to the upper part of the Town of Gibsons and a small water system is operated in Earl’s Cove. These water supplies are also used for fire protection, industrial use and irrigation.
